Cpvc.
Definitely cpvc
Cpvc for sure. Haven't run into a wood pipe issue every day.
Cpvc and galvanized for water lines. Touch either when they are existing and you pretty much have just made a problem.
Saw a large bore wooden pipe still in use in Jamaica bring water down out of the mountains to the towns. Wood is better than CPVC.
I work with them all and if I had to pick just one galvanized got to go.
Galvanized. Worst pipe for water ever just rusts & clogs fixtures with the debree. Cpvc my only issue is that it gets really brittle with age but you can still work with it, galvanized possible but wouldn’t recommend.
CPVC and galvanize
I’m not even a plumber and I know the answer is cpvc. lol
Galvanized and cpvc
Whoever doesn’t say Cpvc doesn’t even know how brittle those fuckers get after a couple years
This is a bad question. Most of these materials are no longer considered good.
Cpvc has got to go. Rumor has it the "C" in Cpvc stands for crap
lead water pipe I know it's not on the list but it has to be the worst one for you
Galvanized… definitely the worst, then copper right behind it
Cpvc is the worst
Cpvc or steel one sucks and ones a pain In the ass to install
Cpvc I’ll keep that wood pipe any day
Galvanized can kick rocks
Cpvc all day
Galvanized by far!
Galvanized by far
I wood honestly let the cpvc go
Galvanized replacing some this weekend rust running out of the hot side and cold side is plugged with rust
My whole house is cpvc so for that reason I have to say wood
Is jobsite theft on the rise or we just hearing about it more? Or both? On the latest Appetite for Construction podcast, we talk with two Chicagoland plumbing contractors and a cop (director of public safety for the village of Riverside, Ill.) about this concerning topic. Great conversation. Listen here: www.buzzsprout.com/1203956/14978160

Monday Minute: What the hell happened to my lithium-ion battery?! My neighbor narrowly escaped a complete house fire because the lithium-ion battery to his son’s RC car charger exploded. Lucky he was home at the time! Had to move out of the house due to possible smoke and chemical inhalation.

I use to work for a bunch of forensic fire experts. They said that battery fires from drills (the YELLOW ones especially) commonly exploded and burned. Said that when they brought it to the manufacturers attention, they shrugged it off and said "Yeah, it happens..."
From the 2024 UPC Illustrated Training Manual, Chapter 5 – WATER HEATERS
507.2 Seismic Provisions. Water heaters shall be anchored or strapped to resist horizontal displacement due to earthquake motion. Strapping shall be at points within the upper one-third and lower one-third of its vertical dimensions. At the lower point, a distance of not less than 4 inches (102 mm) shall be maintained from the controls with the strapping.
Parts of the country that historically have had very few earthquakes are now experiencing an increase in seismic activity. In 2015, the U.S Geological Survey (USGS) released a report showing that there was an increase in earthquakes in the central and eastern United States. This increase in seismic activity nationwide prompted the requirement for all water heaters, regardless of location, to be strapped or anchored. Seismic activity can cause the water heater to be displaced, creating a potentially dangerous condition. The gas connector may break (which could allow gas to flow freely into the space), or the vent connection may separate, allowing products of combustion to enter the space. Consideration must also be given to the possibility of a fire started by the water heater from damage to either the fuel-gas or electrical connections to the tank. In the event of a prolonged interruption of utilities, water heaters may provide an emergency source of drinking water, particularly if they are properly restrained and not destroyed during the earthquake.
